Gears Of War Nov. 12th.

Gears of War, the super anticipated killer-ap for the XBox 360, will be released on "Emergence Day", November 12th. The game will sell with a $59.99 price tag with a $69.99 (!!!) price tag for the special edition, complete with making of DVD and artwork. Great....I guess this is the BIG news from their camp that they promised. I was hoping for something more along the lines of a demo on XBL Marketplace so that we can get our grubby little mitts on what everyone is hyping up. And what happened to the first party 49.99 price? This is not the BIG news I was hoping for, hopefully there is something else. I know they have to compete with wii and PS3 though.

I suspect you won't see a demo until after release. No, not because the game isn't any good but in order to fuel the fever that is "Emergence Day."

As for the price, that's going rate for 360 titles. Nothing unusual here at all.

Yeah, they actually just released a statement saying that there would be no demo before the game because they take a lot of time to polish and create. They did say that the consumers would rather have a game this year rather than a demo this year and the game next year. So hey, I'm all for this then as long as they make this game amazing and as good as Resident Evil 4.

Hey i'd pay 50 bucks just to play the demo level from E3 It looked stonking!! Looking at the interview on IGN insider the many different level paths, co-op play on Live, this is going to be THE killer app of 2006

But theres so many goodies on the way before holidays on the 360.

Saints Row a great looking GTA clone but with OnLive gangs! great stuff

Just Cause ! Free roaming jungle fun

Enchantered Arms ! Great slice of FF style RPG action

Splinter Cell : Double Agent... Need more be said!

Dead Rising ... Looking like the best Zombie fun Capcom has bestowed on us since the first ResEvil.

TimeShift. Futuristic time manipulating fps - looking all the better for being delayed.

Rayman Ravid Rabbids. From the creator of beyond good and evil. A slice of french wit that looks really good.

Pro Evolution Soccer 6 - the best football game comes to the next gen and only on the 360 this year...

It looks good but not exactly the Halo 3 bombshell that was in the original plan. I'm really interested to see what these things coming out of the ground are. I got my money on some mutated people that built citys underground or something.

I don't know. Dead Rising looks cool, but I will have to play it before I judge it. It reminds me too much of "State of Emergency" which got COMPLETELY lame after a few minutes. Gears Of War and SOOOO much else coming out for 360.
